Looks like Frank Ntilikina won’t keep starting point guard spot

Bad news for Frank Ntilikina

New York Knicks’ second-year point guard Frank Ntilikina had himself an impressive game last Friday night against the Golden State Warriors after scoring 17 points and once again playing very good defense on one of the best players in the world in Steph Curry.

Coming into the game, Ntilikina had never started at point guard for the Knicks and was only averaging just over 6 points per game this season.

Despite a great showing, Ntilikina won’t keep the starting point guard job.

Now that Emmanuel Mudiay is healthy and is expected to play on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets after practicing on Sunday, Knicks’ head coach David Fizdale has stated that he will get a chance to start at the point.

Emmanuel Mudiay is probable for tomorrow’s game against the Nets. David Fizdale believes Mudiay is the best passer on the team and will eventually give him a chance to start at point guard, just not yet after missing opening six games of season with a sprained ankle.
